DATA MINIMIZATION IS THE KEY TO A MEANINGFUL PRIVACY LAW

This is the sixth blog post in EPIC’s series on Data Minimization. We have
previously discussed data minimization as a framework to curb harmful commercial
surveillance practices, harms that stem from out of context secondary data uses,
data minimization as a pillar of data security, data minimization as a tool to
protect health data privacy, and data minimization as a way to
regulate surveillance advertising. This post discusses existing data
minimization rules in state and federal laws.
